This Saturday's fixtures (2nd Nov 2019)
Results can't be taken for granted but the top four : Carlton, Leek, Cleethorpes and Ilkeston will expect to win.
Belper Town v Newcastle Town Belper now have to start to catch up their backlog
Cleethorpes Town v Stocksbridge Park Steels Cleethorpes should just edge it.
Glossop North End v Carlton Town Carlton have a 100% away record
Ilkeston Town v Loughborough Dynamo Should be a home win
Kidsgrove Athletic v Frickley Athletic Kidsgrove will be expecting to win
Leek Town v Lincoln United Should be home banker
Market Drayton Town v Wisbech Town Improved Drayton will be looking for a back to back win
Spalding United v Stamford Stamford should win the Lincolnshire derby
Sutton Coldfield Town v Sheffield FC Likely draw
Worksop Town v Chasetown Possibly Worksop's first draw of the season
Those Ilkeston supporters who went to the Loughborough Dynamo ground for the Loughborough University FA Cup tie and stood at the pavilion end will remember how the vocal Loughborough Dynamo players enjoyed watching Ilkeston's misfortunes. Now is our chance to let them know that we are now a much better team.

Forgot about that so I hope this Ilkeston ram it down their throats . Just hope we can start a match . We just dont seem to start a game very well it takes us far to long . We still seem to play like individuals most of the game. ....
On paper we have a very good team but I still think we are playing catch up ....
Why are we too polite in games . Frickley were shouting for every foul even if there wasn't one anD IT WAS THE WHOLE TEAM AND BENCH.

I think you're right Kev. The one game we scored early in and then followed it up with an outstanding team display was against Leek. I was so proud of our first half performance and I'm confident we would would not have lost if had Richard Stainsby not been dismissed. The game turned on the referee's decision and the fact that we didn't have a substitute keeper on the bench. Despite losing, this is the match I thought we played best in. It was a terrific effort against a really good side.

Your right about the Leek game Matchman! First 70+ minutes was the best I have seen us play this season against a very strong Leek side. It was an amazing performance considering we were late with the kit disrupting the team prep for the game. And your right the sending off of Richard Stainsby was harsh and they punished us dearly although I think Alex's dismissal however was entirely predictable.

Again agreed about the leek game .
Going to be another hard game . I think every team who comes to the NMG wants to do us over which you can tell on the pitch and in the dugout. But really I don't blame them it's a good scalp to get at one of the better grounds.
If we can start off better in games will be good all of the game. But with me and other fans we forget we are playing non league and probably ask for too much .
But I think that's the trouble we are all passionate about our non league football .

What a fantastic all round team performance by a Ilkeston side which looks like it's starting to gel and more through the gears.
In fact it could have been 6,7,8 maybe 9 if it wasn't for their keeper. Also a telling part was for the 1st time this season our midfield was running past our centre forward which in turn left space for others to run into.
I don't know where we keep getting our players from but the lad Fenton is a cracking signing. A ball playing centre half. If it was for Alex and rod I would give him man of the match.
Onto Alex I'm chuff to bits for the lad because in my eyes not a out and out finisher like Elliott was but he took is goals very well.
It was a strange atmosphere yesterday at the NMG. I don't if it was we were kicking the wrong way in both halfs or the Alan hardy cloud has been lifted off the club itself.
Anyway roll on Tuesday and hopefully a win which will put us into the last 8 of the DSC. I think we should look into winning this cup or making the final at lease
